I vote that we send him to Greenland and tell him he's the king now.
What has Greenland done to deserve that?
They lied about being green.
I mean, it's mostly an inhospitable wasteland.
Like death valley, let's dump him there.
Nah, that's close to Trump Tower, isn't it? I drove next to something with his name on it when we passed through Las Vegas from California to Minnesota.
What makes it inhospitable?
Traitors get hanged.
Nah. Give him his own submarine. Better yet, let him design it. How hard could it be?
Just to be clear, it's not like a protective order for their person (though Jack Smith and others already have to travel with large security details because of the stochastic terrorism of Trump and most other Republicans), but a protective order of the evidence in the case given through discovery. So before the trial the prosecution has to show the defense all the evidence it has, which is called discovery. The prosecutors here are concerned that Trump is going to leak that info in some way, like witnesses lists, so that his supporters can harass and intimidate witnesses on his behalf. Or maybe even bribe them or something. What the prosecution is seeking is a protective order to prevent trump from releasing publicly any evidence that they obtain through discovery. Normally there wouldn't be anything preventing a defendent from releasing that info, though most sane people wouldn't generally want their incriminating evidence released publicly. If the order is granted and Trump violates it, he could theoretically be held in contempt and go to prison where he no longer can violate the order.
if only there was some facility where he could be housed and monitored to make sure that doesnt happen before trial. oh well. i guess well just have to let him intimidate witnesses and potential jurors.
Silly goose, those kinds of places are just for people with scary skin tones.
Pale white and hairless tops?
More of a orange-hued face with a bad combover on top of a bloated, pasty white blob.
This is absolutely how he should be handled from the start. A lot of people dismissed him "because he is an idiot" and that enabled him to cause damage to our country.
Paywall bot please?
Upvote this and not mine. Not sure what happened but the link got buried in formatting somehow so I just stripped it away. takeda should get credit for providing the actual link to non-paywalled content.
Thank you for reminding me about archive.is!

The ad is one of Mr. Trump’s most aggressive denigrations of the prosecutors, whom he has consistently denounced.
Doesn't america have libel laws?
